Which should you buy?
The ROG Phone 9 Pro edges ahead on the Mars Score (74 vs 77.7), but the 3.7-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the GT Neo 7 if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. The biggest gaps in its favor are wired charging, battery capacity, weight, among others.
Pick the ROG Phone 9 Pro if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are ram, front camera, refresh rate, among others.
Both ship with comparable main camera, screen size, 5g support, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
